Kasean Pryor commits to Louisville basketball and Pat Kelsey via transfer portal

Pat Kelsey‘s latest addition through the NCAA transfer portal addresses the most glaring hole in the 2024-25 Louisville men’s basketball roster: depth in the post.

Kasean Pryor, a 6-foot-10, 210-pound junior forward, committed to the Cardinals on Tuesday in a post to X, formerly Twitter.

Pryor, a Chicago native, spent this past season at South Florida, where he finished third on the team in scoring with 13 points on 44.7% shooting (37 for 105 from 3-point range) across 26.3 minutes per game. He also led the Bulls in rebounding, grabbing 7.9 boards per contest.

His collegiate career began with two seasons at Boise State. Then, he transferred to Northwest Florida State and spent a season at the junior college level.

With his commitment, Pryor took the 10th of 13 scholarships at Kelsey’s disposal.

The other members of the 2024-25 roster are:

• TerrenceEdwards Jr. (redshirt junior, guard/forward, James Madison)

• J’Vonne Hadley (senior, guard, Colorado)

• Chucky Hepburn (junior, guard, Wisconsin)

• Koren Johnson (sophomore, guard, Washington)

• James Scott (freshman, forward, Charleston)

• Reyne Smith (junior, guard, Charleston)

• Aboubacar Traore (junior, forward, Long Beach State)

Kelsey has also secured commitments from juniors Aly Khalifa (center, BYU) and Kobe Rodgers (guard, Charleston); but they plan to redshirt this season while rehabbing injuries.

As of Tuesday, all of Louisville’s scholarship players from the 2023-24 campaign had entered the portal, which closed May 1.

At the time of publication, 10 had found new homes:
